Ides of March - 15 March 2014

The Ides of March this year focused on the drinks portion of the Hash and forgoing the pesky other stuff. I will let weather Goddess give the recap:

Ciao Tutti....

Thanks to those of you who braved the rugby revelers and joined us at the Misc Pub for a fun evening on the Ides of March and fab food, thanks to Mickey's generosity. And we managed to slay Caesar despite his double shields! Only missed the blood (aka catsup - watch out next year, JC!)

P.S. Sorry we missed some of you regulars..

Hipster Hash - 26 Jan 2014

EMP wins the 2013 HOSCAR!

2 Feb 2014Ciao Hashers,

The Hipster Hash #1023 was another resounding success and, most importantly, the weather held out for a sunny afternoon in beautiful Parco Caffarella. Evil Braless and Big Liquor hared the trail, which was no more confusing than any other Rome Hash.

The REAL news was the big turnout of veteran Rome Hashers when Vaticant, former GM, brought together Orgazmic, Lady Bird, Eatamypussy, Cums in Quarts, Weather Goddess, and All Hands full who ALSO celebrated her 75th run. Just Jean-loup and Just John (read his great blog post about the run here) came too and out-of-towners Must Stank Sally and Snake Charmer rounded out a big group.

Lastly, the Rome Hash wishes to congratulate Eatamypussy for being awarded the prestigious HOSCAR for her contribution to the Rome Hash over the last few years. She was a driving force and will be sorely missed as she moves on to a kennel in Bruxelles which is doubtlessly less pretty and smart than ours.

We hope to see you, yes you, at the upcoming Red Dress Run on 15 February, a Saturday! We are in desperate need of Hares to help set the trail and Helpers to store/transport the beer so if you are interested in volunteering for a hopeless cause let us know!

Chrismahanukwanzakah Party - 2013

8 Jan 2014Hello Whankers,

Welcome back to everyone who left Roma for the holidays. The RH3 Chrismahanukwanzakah Party was a resounding success and fun was had by all! The gift swap was appropriately inappropriate and, not surprisingly, the majority of the gifts were in fact alcohol.

There were several new, lapsed, and born-again hashers that came by including the omni-present Weather Goddess, Gelatio, Penne Alle Puttanesca, Just Brandon and others. Prosecco bottles were stolen, feelings were hurt, and Just Brandon had the great fortune of bringing home a moving-box worth of Pasta home to eat.

UPCOMING EVENTSWe are planning a Hipster Hash on Sunday January 26th. For those unfamiliar with Hipsters, check out the articles here and here.

On Saturday February 15th we will hold our Red-Dress Run. You demanded it and now you are going to get it. For those of you who have trouble getting a dress in your own size, now is the time to start searching.

Lastly, (and most importantly) the Ides of March Hash falls on a Saturday (The Fifteenth of March for those of you who slept through Julius Caesar.)

All in all, the next few months hold quite a bit and I hope to hear from all of you soon. Make sure you RSVP so we bring enough beer. Also, for these runs I need you, yes you! We need hares to set the trails, we need Hashers who can help lug the beer or have a car, we need you! So I am begging you, on my knees, with tears in my eyes, to help just once this year. You well get help and you will be another step closer to earning your Hash name. Sign up now on the website when you RSVP and let us know that you’re not just cumming, but you’re going to help others cum too!

Run #1022 - Sadie Hawkins Hash

16 Nov 2013Run #1022The Sadie Hawkins Hash was a resounding success, and the amount of visiting Hashers made it feel like a Mini Nash Hash. Thunderpussy and Ass brought down a delegation of Northern Hashers from Vicenza and Aviano respectively, and Balls Deep and the boys came up from Napoli. The forty Hashers and Harriettes who came were treated to a highlight reel of landmarks in the city center. The Hash circle at the end was crowded, noisy, and chaotic, even for hashers. Just another day with RH3!

The hash started auspiciously when all 40 hashers started from Piazza Novona at a good clip down Via del Corso only to have the Hare call on back because we had all already gotten good and lost. This proved to be a sign from the Hash Gods that everyone would need to pay close attention/be slightly psychic all afternoon. There were some who may say, ”But Big Liquor, a large chunk of people got separated and didn’t get to have a cocktail break.” To those hashers I say, you have learned an important lesson about the advantages of not being an FRB. That said, the on-trail quote of the day occurred when Evil Braless who hared the run stated that one of her trail marks might be misleading because, “I changed my mind.” I think that described the run route perfectly.

The Circle provided a great view of the city and Weather Goddess ensured that the drizzeling and spitteling never evolved into a full blown downpour. Co-hare with Evil Braless, Just Sabrina, earned her hash name and from here forward will be known as Gellatio, (rhymes with felatio.) Other notable events included ACDC celebrating a hashday and Thunderpussy proposing marriage to several different recipients as a way to get free drinks. The On-after was the usual affair with hashers getting lost, drinking beer, and trying to get laid.The next upcoming Hash will be the Chrismahannahkwanzakah Hash on the 8th of December and it's sure to be merry and bright!

Run #1021 - HallowHash

31 OCT 2013Hash #1021 is in the Books.

HallowHash was a resounding success with a surprising range of great costumes, mediocre costumes, and lame excuses that resulted in down-downs. First, thanks to Between the Sheets and Puddle Pisser for laying a great trail that took us around, through, and even under Villa Borghese. Daylight savings is definitely creeping up on us and we will begin doing Hashes around 3PM for the foreseeable future in order to keep from burning too much daylight.

There were some notable down downs in the circle that ought to be discussed. Just-Christian did another admirable job of getting more down downs in an attempt to do the opposite. Costume awards to Black Stallion, Just Meghan, Big Liquor, and Just Zvia received a fortune in Lira for their costumes. And most impressively, Just Katherine disappeared with one of the Virgins (Just Elwyn??) for a half hour but apparently, "The gate was locked." is their version of an explanation. Also, Just Brandon celebrated with us on becoming a (ptew) barred lawyer and gamely took his down down without a lot of protesting, weaseling, and arguing!

We want to also welcome Gucci Cucci, a wayward Hasher from Rome, who came to rediscover his hometown Hash. So many Hash Virgins that we thought that it was a promise-ring convention (too bad the Jonas Brothers are breaking up)! Thank you so much to everyone who came and we hope to see you on the upcoming Sadie Hawkins Hash.

Run #1020 - OctoberHAsh

7 OCT 2013Wow! (said with a German accent)

What a great turnout for our #1020 Hash celebrating Oktoberfest and all things German (but mostly beer and pretzels). The 20 some odd folks who showed up on Sunday brought a great attitude, even under constant threat of rain) and EMP’s trail gave a nice tour of the highlights of our fair city. There is still debate about whether or not the Gelato check was a fabrication of some Hasher's imaginations.

We had a tremendous amount of Hash Virgins: Just Trish, Gina, Madeleine, Katherine, Brandon, Paulina, Angelo, and Ciara all showed a great attitude. In fact, Just Ciara showed some initiative in down-downing the entire circle, (but to be honest, it isn’t hard to convince a Hasher to drink more).

Visitors Mr. Happy Pockets, Screeching Eargasm, Puddle Pisser, Between the Sheets, and Pasta in my Pants taught us a myriad of new and "delightful" songs. New comers Curves Right and Parks and Masturbation joined the other usual suspects of Iron Man, EMP, Bollywood Babe, Bush Wanker, and Just Sabrina so we were not totally outnumbered by Hash Virgins.

I can't wait to see everyone in a few short weeks as we gear up for our Hallow-Hash. Yes Just Ciara, we will be in costumes, no matter how shiggy.

Quote of the Hash, “Were you in pants before? I must not have been imagining you with pants on.”
